Seven Days of Sally Hansen: Day 2 - Lavender Cloud

Here is day two of my Sally Hansen Swatch week. This little beauty is Lavender Cloud

Like Crinoline, this is off-white but with just a hint of lavender this time. It is almost impossible to capture that slight hint of colour and so my pictures don't do it justice. This is three coats as I found two didn't give it enough opacity and left it a little streaky.

Seven Days of Sally Hansen: Day 1 - Crinoline

Hi ladies, I'm back and I'm back with a vegance!

You may have noticed on a lot of blogs lately that people have been finding high branded polishes in Poundland. Yes, thats right, the shop were everything is £1! Over the past couple of months I've been heading into Poundland and TJ Hughes every time I've been to town and I've managed to get my hands on a fair few Sally Hansen Complete Salon Manicure polishes. 
This range claims to be a 5-in-1 fix for the on-the-go woman. That is a base coat, strengthener, growth treatment, colour and top coat. What more could a girl want?
I have that many now that I have decieded to do a Seven Days of Sally Hansen week!

First up we have the lovely Crinoline. This is a lovely pinkish off-white. I reckon this will be perfect with most skin tones. It's so fresh and elegant. Application is perfect and the wide brush is my new favourite! This is three easy coats. Top coat not necassary!

MUA Fur Effect Nails: Fluff and Cuddles Review

MUA are an amazingly cheap brand here in the UK. Originally all their products were £1. Absolute bargain! You can still get alot of their basic products for £1 but the rest of the range has gone a little more upmarket. They've recently bought out a new range of Fur-Effect nail felt, usually priced at £3 but are currently only £2 in Superdrug!! I've never tried the felt look before, I was previously against even trying it because I really didn't think I'd like the feel of them. How wrong was I?!
  
This is Fluff and Cuddles over Max Factor - Intense Plum.

Del Sol - Trick or Treat

My sister works on the cruise ships. She recently came back from 6 months away and got me an awesome nail polish! Del Sol is a brand of colour-changing goodness originally from Utah. This particular polish is Trick or Treat - an awesome orange micro glitter that changes to black in the sun. Unfortunately, here in the UK we've had a lack of sun for a while! So at the minute, I'm showing you this polish as it comes with no sun. Clearly this polish was meant for Halloween but it's still pretty epic all year round!
I used a base coat of Collection 2000 - Cloud Nine and sponged on Del Sol - Trick or Treat. On my ring finger I did three coats of the glitter. I finished with a coat of Seche Vite.

Matching jumper and nails!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

I hope you've all had a wonderful festive season! I took a little time out from blogging to spend time with my family and friends and generally chill out during my time off from uni. It's been great but I've definitely missed blogging. For christmas I got a kind-of-christmas jumper off my boyfriend. I love matching my nails to my outfits so this is exactly that.

I used Barry M - Blue Plum, Nails Inc - St James and Essie - Ballet Slipper for this look. I created the zig zag with a striper brush and finished with a coat of Seche Vite.
